Preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction: does novel proteomics reveal immunological possible candidate biomarkers?

Purpose Of Review: The aim of this review is to explore a possible link between immunological candidate proteins, identified through modern proteomic techniques, and preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR).

Recent Findings: Proteomics has become a promising tool in the search for disease pathways, drug targets, and biomarkers. PE and FGR are adverse pregnancy complications with supposed immunological involvement in their pathogenesis, but no circulating immunological biomarkers are currently established for diagnosis and risk stratification.

Implantable loop recorders can detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in Standardbred racehorses with intermittent poor performance.

Background: Limited information is available on paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in the horse. Indeed, undiagnosed PAF could result in poor performance. Due to the intermittent occurrence, PAF is difficult to diagnose.
